Germany: AfD Surges to Tie for First Place as Establishment Party ‘Crashes’ After Election Win

Six weeks after voters in Germany went to the polls for the federal elections, there appears to be growing dissatisfaction with the outcome, as more Germans shift their support to the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

According to the latest survey from Insa on behalf of the Bild newspaper, the AfD has soared to a record 24 per cent support. This puts the upstart party on par with the election-winning ‘Union’ of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union in Bavaria (CSU), which collectively also now stand at 24 per cent in support.

I'm surprised they didn't call them the far right.

More important is what Germany does.

Cases in point...

Still far right.

SNORT.

The higher the AfD gets in the polls the more likely the party will get banned and their leader found guilty and sentenced to jail on some bogus charges.

The ONE article that doesn’t. It’s astonishing how everything to the right of Stalin is now “far-right”, yet you only hear “far-left”, and that rarely, when referring to North Korea.

Not even yet installed, Merz’ flip from “peace” to war preparations will accelerate not on the AfD, but some of the small Leftist parties ( like Wagenknecht ) that don't want preparations for war. Most important, many families with late teenage and young adult children are seeing what “was” trying to come around again, and in that they are reacting against Merz.

Something like this is rising in France as well.

[Leaning Right]

You beat me to it.

All the German Deep State need do is insert a few agents into the AfD. Then have them give the Nazi salute at a AfD rally. Poof! No more AfD.

But if that’s too much work, Germany could just arrest their leaders for some financial crime. And I’m sure prosecutors could easily find one.

After all, that worked in France with Marine Le Pen.

Tell us more about the France situation.

The higher the AfD gets in the polls the more likely the party will get banned and their leader found guilty and sentenced to jail on some bogus charges.

In Germany, the political divide is strictly geographic. East Germany is AfD and West Germany is Globalist/EU/Zeeper/FReeper Nathan Bedford/Democrat.

Remember three years ago when Italy’s Giorgia Meloni was widely decried as a neofascist and would drag Italy down to the days of Mussolini? Yeah, they were full of shite then, as they are now about AfD.

Meloni’s Italy is on the Rise

---- "Tell us more about the France situation."

One only need survey the attack on LePen for doing what all politicians do, to block her from competing electorally against Macron. And look to the continuing occasional FR posts of the "yellow vest" movement which continues. Essnetially the same structure as we see here, and elsewhere in Europe. An ongoing tax-revolt against those who would raise more taxation.

[srmanuel]

Germany has major issues, their energy prices are 4x compared to the USA, their industry is shrinking, they now face the Trump tariffs on an economy built on exports, they’ve announced a major spending spree on national defense, Muslim immigrants are now committing acts of terror on a near daily basis, the AfD is surging in the polls.

Getting rid of the AfD is probably the easiest problem to solve, as you say just plant someone giving a Hitler salute and it’s all over for the AfD.

[montag813]

Munich-ites need to drop the damn CSU already and get with AfD.

[citizen]

3 2 1 . . . until a rogue court finds against AfD and/or party members on totally bogus charges.

It’s the fascist Euro way to maintain a stranglehold on ill-gotten power.

[katana]

Suppressing a political movement that recognizes and offers solutions to problems the powers that be can't bring themselves to even speak of. Of course it makes it stronger.

Deutschland wieder sicher machen!

After the election is no time to shift your party loyalty. Look at Starmer. He told them what he was going to do and they voted for him anyway. Then he is doing what he said he would do and they are shifting their party loyalties. He will have plenty of time to replace their votes with new voters.
